Government agency compromised by fake Facebook hottie

Using social media profiles and a photo of a real (and consenting) woman, two hackers fooled a government employer into believing she was an employee, conning them out of a company laptop, network credentials, and more.

They used "her" Facebook and LinkedIn connections to send out holiday cards linked to an attack site, which the government employees visited, and scammed one employee into sending her a work laptop - as well as network access credentials and more, such as SalesForce logins.

Um idk what to say but wow that's is a huge mistake and poor guy most of lost his job. Dam that is too big of a mistake. Still can't believe they used facebook out of all things to convince him and trick him into emailing and sending them information and a laptop.

I think we've all seen an "attractive girl" show up in a group of mostly male geeks, and have them fawn all over "her". It's exactly why they choose these buxom women. It's human nature, and these guys enjoy the attention from a cute girl
